Excellent testimony.
Worth the ~3 minute watch.
Also a good share for raising consciousness within your networks.

The military being deployed to LA is unacceptable. It violates everything essential to what makes America, America.

Ronald Silver was 36 years old and father to five young children. His death was hideous, agonizing, completely unnecessary. Dying on a strangers front porch because you cannot cool off in time or get water on the job- in a democratic state no less- is beyond shameful.

No fine for Baltimore DPW worker’s death, thanks to weak workplace protections in Maryland | Baltimore Brew When Ronald Silver II died, no statewide workplace heat standard was in effect. And MOSH can’t fine public sector employers for safety violations. Legislation pending in Annapolis aims to change that.

Weekend Update #121: The Mafia State Takes Over the USA Phillips’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

Hi All, just sent out my weekend update (free as always). The only way to understand the USA and its interactions with Russia, Ukraine and Europe is to accept that the US is now a mafia state. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Top Social Security official steps down after clash with DOGE, sources say The top official at the Social Security Administration stepped down after a clash with DOGE employees over access to sensitive personal records, sources told ABC News.

How many times do we have to say it? Unaccountable billionaires have NO business accessing workers’ sensitive personal data, including their Social Security information. None. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Thank you to the heroic @afacwa.org flight attendants who helped save the lives of dozens of passengers during yesterday’s plane crash in Toronto.

Listen to your flight attendants. It can save your life.

Elon and DOGE are firing thousands of hard-working federal workers who do vital work for our communities and keep the programs that working families rely on running.

I don’t know where this ends, Jordan. I wonder about what we will all be pushed towards, and what we will do about it. And my heart goes out to you, and so many others. And myself.

Is it true that that is the image for a confederate flag?

Keep your messaging simple:

β€œTrump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

The Holocaust was legal. We had a law prof teach a whole course on this. Ppl who conflate what is lawful with what is right are easy to manipulate and control.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

He’s a total idiot. There’s no denial. But the more birds that are euthanized to try, unsuccessfully, to get ahead of the spread of bird flu, the more the price of eggs will go up. There’s no way that’s going to get better, in my opinion. I’d love to be wrong.

Trump and his advisors are high on their own supply after getting away with so much in their first week. But they are going to regret this one. It’ll devastate red states that rely on this money for basic programs that keep people fed, clothed, alive. A huge unforced error politically and legally.

The actual opposition of fascism is creation . Period

If fascism is the institutionalization of dysfunction

Then fighting is the collectivization of functionality

You fight it by making things work for ALL while the try to make sure it only works for some

Those of us with any ” diversity” qualifications do not need to be the ones convincing the AHs.

We need to be surviving and building each other up. Yo, you other people with more privilege, you do that . you take that on. We’ve got enough to worry about.

A Thoroughly Confused Country: An Introduction to Class Politics and a Way Forward Americans suffer from a lack of class consciousness, which makes them easy prey for manipulation

The wealthy have intentionally destroyed class consciousness so that they can exploit the vast majority of people.

If we’re going to fight back and ultimately win this class war, it’s time we got familiar with how our politics actually work.
